     I guess i could rephrase what i want to do...i want to remove the quota
    system. has anyone ever done that before? and second i intend to replace
    it with my own system that won't be as strict, interms of who gets
    charged for owning an object. I see the quota system only as a means to
    control the size of the db and to give everyone a fair share of it. i
    want to remove the fair-share part of it but still keep control of the
    size in some way. i can do this by basing it around my money system
    where i can remove some of the extra money if things start getting too
    big..or levy a tax or something.

    this is also a good point but...this won't be a social/technical moo
    like lambda it will be more of a game in a sense. useing money as the
    basis also works will with some of my other plans such as make @create
    $thing called Foo into buy $thing  or something of that nature. but i
    think that's getting off the focus of this list and if anyone else likes
    i'll discuss my plans in private email. or look at
